Richmond is not as violent a place as this article makes it seem. Elijah is my brother and he would not want his hometwn portrayed in this way. This article is total B.S !!!!!! Except for the the appreciaton of my brothers accomplishments. As a citizen or Richmond I find this argument condescending and errant.

I too,just like Elijah, am from the city of Richmond,otherwise known as "murder capitol", "lil Iraq", and "gothem city" amongst us younger ones. I had the honor of actually knowing him,and going to school with him,and befriending him.He was always just so humble about everything, and always worked hard. In middle school,he wasn't the best basketball player,but he always tried, and I see him now, and gives many hope over here. It's sad,because over here in Richmond, we're more likely to get murdered or end up in prison at some point in life, than we are to go too college and succed. It wasn't shocking either, when he was shot,because that's life over here, I have more die, than best friends I got that are still alive. And you see what the comment above me says? it says "I’ve only seen one gun in 4 years"!! Most teachers never see those at other schools. But its no lie,or exaggeration, many kids come armed at school for "protection". It's nice for someone to finally write an article like this, and actually depict how hard it is for us kids to become something,rather than bashing us,on how "violent" we are,or how ghetto we live. So I hope one day when Eli in on an NBA court, everyone in Richmond will put the guns down,and set aside beefs with one another, to cherish the fact that someone really made it. The last person i've heard that did this big was probably Courtney Anderson,aslo from Richmond. He played football with my cousin, but even his road to success was long, but last i heard he's still in the NFL. I enojoyed reading this article.

Yes, he was a super-star last year. Yes, he came to class late (1st period - normal for seniors). Yes, he did his homework, and yes, he passed the class demonstrating a high level of traditional intelligence (good at reading and writing) as well as a thorough knowledge of how to make people like him. The scene at Richmond High is fairly tame - I've only seen one gun in 4 years. The scene in the streets is bad. The fact that Eli has made it this far without a major chip on his shoulder is wonderful. He doesn't act like he is owed anything. He IS that great.

I live in the Bay Area and work with teenagers as a Youth Pastor. One of my kids played with Eli last year, so I saw him several times. His story is legendary in the Bay for what he went through to get eligable again. Good guy, amazing game. I was so glad that he was leaving Richmond. Eli is a great guy.

The NCAA has plenty of time to review Eli's information. He's already been cleared to practice. Who said he won’t qualify? The NCAA has plenty of time to review Eli’s information.

IU doing him a huge favor by sticking him with a big tuition bill. too bad he’s not qualified, and likely won’t be. IU doing him a huge favor by sticking him with a big tuition bill.
